OUR GROUP STRUCTURE

We established our wholesale business in 2000 with between us, over 80 years of buying, selling and retail experience.

Ever mindful of a constantly changing world and potentially volatile economies and sectors, we have adopted a carefully planned growth and development strategy.

In more recent years we underpinned core operations with the building of a property portfolio, giving the group asset stability.

Based in the UK, our group companies of wholesale, property and the charitable trust, operate across 26 countries, serving over 1,600 customers.

OUR ECO GOALS

We are a B CORP BUSINESS

With over 20 years’ experience in health & beauty and the discount retail business, we are all too aware of the challenges the sector faces in improving levels of waste, excessive and plastic packaging and reducing carbon emissions.

We are committed to playing our part in working sustainably and protecting the planet and have made significant changes to improve our environmental impact and helping those we work with to do the same. We were certified as a B Corporation in February 2023 and remain dedicated to upholding B Corp status values and standards.
